Anwar Ibrahim for Prime Minister

I don't know.

Anwar Ibrahim could be our Prime Minister by 16th September. That's just about slightly more than 1 month from now!! That's soon!! Pakatan Rakyat would have taken over the governing of this country. Back track a little, he would have won the Permatang Pauh seat on the 26th this month by a huge margin.

I don't know.

We would be on the road to eradicating corruption in the civil service. We could be like Singapore and Hongkong. We could be a society where race, creed and religion becomes personal and has nothing much to do with Malaysia as a whole. We could become competitive in the global arena. We could be a country to be reckon with. Emigrating people will then do so for new and different reasons. Their numbers will drop.

In addition, the following as part of what Anwar said on the 7th August 2008, may too materialise.

I promise that, under a Pakatan Rakyat government, Malaysians will never again be subjected to such gross abuse of executive power as we are again witnessing today (7 August 2008).

Arbitrary arrest and detention, frivolous investigation and malicious prosecutions shall be a thing of the past. Police officers and prosecutors who launch conspiracies to defame and humiliate the innocent will be severely punished. The use of police powers as well as that of the office of the Attorney General to persecute political opponents will be criminalised so as to ensure a healthy and vibrant democracy where dissent is not only tolerated but also nurtured.

In this regard, every Malaysian’s fundamental liberties will be treated as sacrosanct and safeguarded by a truly independent judiciary guided by principles of utmost integrity and an adherence to the spirit of the federal constitution.

The politically motivated trial launched against me will, Insha’Allah, be the last of its kind. No Malaysian will suffer from this cruel injustice ever again.

I want to believe. Don't you?
